Officials at Ohio State University made the same call on Wednesday: classes will continue to be delivered online only for the summer 2020 term.

“We cannot yet predict when current restrictions on our campuses will ease, so we are moving forward to provide a consistent academic experience for the summer term," Ohio State Provost Bruce A. McPheron said Wednesday in a written message to students, faculty and staff.

UC also said Wednesday that all summer study abroad is canceled and prohibited.

Residence and dining halls will remain closed through the summer, except for the approximately 540 students who received waivers to continue living on campus.

UC extended its suspension of all university-related international travel through June 30, and UC-sponsored domestic air travel will continue to be limited to essential business until July.

The university is maintaining information for students and employees on its website.

More information can be found on the University Health Services site. For all other questions, email publichealth@uc.edu or call 513-556-7200.

As of Wednesday afternoon, 65 Ohioans had died from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus.

Ohio has had 2,547 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Of those, 679 people have been hospitalized and 222 were in intensive care units.
